This fix is implementing partition based boundary check for disk IO and updates disk mediasize (if needed), based on information from partition table. As it appeared, the signed int based approach still has corner cases, and the wrapover based behavior is non-standard. The idea for this fix is based on two assumptions: The bug about media size is hitting large (2+TB) disks, lesser disks hopefully, are not affected. Large disks are using GPT (which does include information about disk size). Since our concern is about boot support and boot disks are partitioned, implementing partition boundaries based IO verification should make the media size issues mostly disappear. However, for large disk case, we do have the disk size available from GPT table. If non-GPT cases will appear, we still can make approximate calculation about disk size based on defined partition(s), however, this is not the objective of this patch, and can be added later if there is any need. This patch does implement disk media size adjustment (if needed) in bd_open(), and boundary check in bd_realstrategy().

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
